Late September Whitetail Scouting Update
October Forecasted to Start Off Warm & Dry..
Here at Heartland Lodge, we’ve been busy monitoring trail cameras, mowing our clover food plots, over-seeding a few of our fall plots with oats and rye, and fine tuning our treestand set ups. So far, this September has been hot and dry. Looking ahead, it looks like a major heat dome will be bringing more summer-like weather conditions for the start of the season with daily temperatures reaching into the upper 80’s before starting to cool down towards the end of the first week of the archery season. Although I’m ready for the 80–90-degree temperatures to be over with, our brassica food plots will flourish in this late summer heat!
Moving into Fall Ranges & Changing Food Sources
October/November Archery Hunts Available!
We have been keeping close tabs on the different phases of the whitetail’s world and preferred food sources as we make the final preparations for the 2023 deer season. If you are looking to schedule a last-minute hunt for October, we do have a few hunt spots open, Click Here to View Hunt Dates/ Rates for this Season.
I’m looking forward to sharing camp with new and return clients/friends this fall. I hope you have a safe and memorable whitetail season with friends and family.
Good luck!
